desires to remove the unsmoked residue or dottle from his pipe he pounds it on the palm of his hand, usually scattering the moist residue and ash outside the ash tray he is aiming at,not to mention the soiling of his hand during the operation. Perhaps he will pound the bowl on the edge of the tray or ash receptacle at the risk of nicking the bowl or tipping over the tray and the noise of this operation may disturb other smokers. When he is through smoking or is interrupted and desires to lay the pipe downhe is again presented with a'problem. If he puts it in the ash tray the outside of the bowl is dirtied with ashes. The chances are that the pipe will rest at such an angle that it will drain into the stem or mouth piece which, of course, is objectionable.

Moreover, with the newer type of pipe having a metal piece or baflle inside the stem the smoker often desires to wipe off the moisture deposited on the metal piece. The question is, where to finda piece of absorbent material to use for this purpose.

When the smoker has finished his smoke and desires to clean the stem and mouth piece he is confronted with the job of locating his pipe cleaners and reamer.

This invention has for its salient object to solve the pipe smokers problems above presented and to provide a smokers outfit or set having conveniently arranged facilities for supplying the needs of a pipe smoker.

Another object of the invention is to provide an ash tray or receptacle with cushioned means against which a pipe may be tapped to remove the dottle or unsmoked residue.

Another object of the invention'is to provide a device of the character described with storage space for pipe cleaners, waste paper, matches, a pipe reamer, etc.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pipe smokers ashreceptacle or tray having a,

I (Cl. l3151) This invention relates to a device or outfit for the'pipe will drain into the bowl and not into the stem or mouth piece.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pipe smokers serving set with a rigid cleaning rodxso designed as to remove obstructions in that 5 portion of the stem of the pipe which is an extension of the bowl, and to clean said portion of the stem.

The invention briefly described consists of a smokers set or outfit designed for pipe smokers and having an ash receptacle or tray provided with a central spindle for loosening the unsmoked residue or dottle or for removing stoppages from the bowl end of the stem and furthermore, provided with a bumper or abutment of resilient or cushioning material against which the pipe bowl may be tapped to remove the dottle, and with receptacles for dispensing paper, supporting matches, storing waste paper and storingpipe cleaners, cleaning rods, reamers or other pipe accessories. The units are all mounted on a single base and are accessible to furnish the pipe smoker with all of the necessary appliances.

"Further details of the invention will appear from the following description.

In the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1-6 inclusive, there is shown There are mounted on the base upwardly extending casings A and B. The casing A has a removable cover l3 and is provided with a ledge V I 4 and a downwardly inclined shelf l5 spaced below the ledge 14 and providing an opening l6 through which sheets S of paper may be withdrawn.

The casing B is provided with an abutment adapted to support a box of matches M and with partitions forming an enclosure of aremovable waste paper receptacle R having openings 2| adjacent the upper end in the side walls to facilitate the removal of the receptacle. A pair of hooks 22 are formed on the receptacle for receiving and supporting a pipe reamer ofthe usual construction. The casing B also has a recess 24 adapted to receive a cleaner rod, or other pipe accessory. V The match supporting abutment, wastev paper receptacle and cleaner rod access are carried by a slide or drawer 26 which, as shown in Fig. 4, may be pulled out. Furthermore, access may be had to these parts by removing the cover 21.

Intermediate the housings or casings A and B there is mounted an ash tray or receptacle T which is removably mounted on the base. The tray or receptacle T is preferably provided on a removable bottom 30, as shown in Fig. 5, and a vertically extending spindle 3|. is secured to the bottom and extends upwardly slightly beyond the plane of the upper edge 32'or rim of the ash receptacle or tray T. The spindle may be of such diameter as to permit'its use in cleaning the bowl end of the pipe stem or, if desired, a second pin 3IA may be carried by the base to facilitate cleaning the pipe stem.

The upper rim of the receptacle has secured thereto a pluralityof segments 33 having pads 34 of resilient or cushioning material, such as cork or rubber. These pads may be secured to the rim in any desired manner as by rivets 35 shown in Fig. 2, or by removable clips 36, as shown in Fig. 6. The rim is also provided with raised portions or pipe rests .40 which may, if desired, be formed of cushioning material and which extend upwardly from the rim of the ashtray or receptacle a sufiicient extent to support the pipe in the manner shown in Fig. 5 with the stem. and

the mouthpiece upwardly inclined so that the thus causing the dottle to drop into the receptacle. By providing bumpers of cushioning material nicking of the bowl will be prevented and.

the tapping operation can be carried out noise.- lessly.

The base also has formed thereon a plurality of radially extending box-like enclosures 55, 56, 51 and 58, these portions being disposed between the arcuate upright portions 5|; shown in Fig.7. r

' As clearly illustrated in the drawings; the box like portions extend at their inner ends inwardly toward the center of. the base beyond the arcuate portions forming ledges on which is supported the ash receiver or ash tray 60, as shown in Fig. 8; The ash receiver conforms in construction to thestructure illustrated in the preceding fig- The other enclosures 56 and 58 may be used to house receptacles, such as thatshown in Fig. 9 at vt5, This receptacle has an opening 66 in the top thereof and a slit 6'! communicates with the opening and extends to the'open'end 63 of the receptacle. house paper strips P similar to those shown in Fig. 3,'the forward edge of the upper strip being led upwardly through theopening'66,

A similar receptacle is shown in the box-like enclosure 58 and may beI'used forv receiving the;

waste or discarded paper after it has b'een'used to clean the bowl or stem of the pipe.

In order to hold the receptacles 55 in place the base 50 has formed thereon upwardly extending ridges H3 and H. 7
